Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, single-arm, open-label clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an integrated "induction-consolidation-transplantation" treatment protocol in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML, excluding M3 subtype). Based on patients' economic conditions, two induction regimens are offered: the IAV regimen (idarubicin + cytarabine + venetoclax) for those with better financial resources, and the DAV regimen (daunorubicin + cytarabine + venetoclax) for those with limited resources. During the consolidation phase, patients receive either the MA regimen (liposomal mitoxantrone + intermediate-dose cytarabine) or intermediate-dose cytarabine monotherapy. Eligible patients proceed directly to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), with a FA-BuCy/ATG conditioning regimen and an innovative graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis strategy using anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody combined with delayed oral cyclosporine. The entire treatment plan is designed to be completed within four months of diagnosis. The study plans to enroll 50 newly diagnosed patients aged 14-65 years. Primary endpoints include disease-free survival (DFS), complete remission rate (CR/CRi), and the efficacy of the transplantation protocol. Secondary endpoints include relapse rate, treatment-related mortality, 2-year overall survival, and treatment safety. This study aims to explore a new strategy to improve the cure rate of AML by optimizing drug combinations and shortening the treatment duration.

Detailed Description

Intervention Measures

1. Induction and Consolidation Treatment Regimen 1.1 First Induction Therapy: IAV or DAV Regimen

• IAV Regimen:Intravenous Idarubicin (Ida): 6 mg/m²/day on days 1-3 (total cumulative dose ≤ 40 mg)，Intravenous Cytarabine: 100 mg/m²/day on days 1-7，Oral Venetoclax: 8-day schedule（100 mg on day 4, 200 mg on day 5, and 400 mg/day on days 6-11）
• DAV Regimen：Intravenous Daunorubicin (D): 60 mg/m²/day on days 1-3，Intravenous Cytarabine: 100 mg/m²/day on days 1-7，Oral Venetoclax: 8-day schedule（100 mg on day 4, 200 mg on day 5, and 400 mg/day on days 6-11） 1.2 Consolidation Therapy Options: MA or Intermediate-Dose Cytarabine Regimen
• MA Regimen (Liposomal Mitoxantrone + Intermediate-Dose Cytarabine):Liposomal Mitoxantrone: 10 mg/m²/day on days 1-2.Cytarabine: 1 g/m² every 12 hours for 3 days (days 1-3).
• Intermediate-Dose Cytarabine Regimen:Cytarabine: 1 g/m² every 12 hours for 3 days (days 1-3).

Summary:

• For patients with good economic conditions: IAV → MA regimen.
• For patients with limited economic resources: DAV → Intermediate-dose cytarabine regimen.

2. Subsequent Treatment Plan for Transplant-Eligible Patients Patients eligible for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) should proceed directly to transplant after the above two treatment cycles（The requirement before transplantation is that minimal residual disease should be negative).

• Conditioning Regimen: FA + BuCy (Fludarabine + Busulfan + Cyclophosphamide). For haploidentical transplantation, ATG (antithymocyte globulin) is added.
• Donor Selection Priority:

1. HLA-matched sibling donor (MSD) 2. Matched unrelated donor (MUD) 3. Haploidentical donor (Haplo) Selection should consider donor age, health status, and other clinical factors. 3.Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation Protocol 3.1 Conditioning Regimen: FA-BuCy/ATG

• Fludarabine: 30 mg/m²/day on days -8 to -6
• Cytarabine: 1 g/m²/day on days -8 to -6
• Busulfan: 2.4 mg/kg/day on days -5 to -3
• Cyclophosphamide: 30 mg/kg/day on days -4 to -3
• ATG (Antithymocyte Globulin): 7.5 mg/kg total dose, administered from day -5 to -2 3.2 GVHD Prophylaxis
• Recombinant Humanized Anti-CD25 Monoclonal Antibody: 50 mg on days +1 and +4.
• The GVHD prophylaxis regimen consists of cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and short-course methotrexate (MTX).Cyclosporine (CsA):Initiated as a continuous 24-hour intravenous infusion at a dose of 2 mg/kg/day, starting from day -9 before transplantation.Once the patient can tolerate oral intake, cyclosporine is switched to oral administration at a dose of 3-5 mg/kg/day, divided into two daily doses.The target therapeutic trough concentration of cyclosporine should be maintained between 150-250 μg/L.
• Delayed Oral Cyclosporine Protocol:Continue IV infusion until day +20, even if GI symptoms resolve.Switch to oral only if no acute GVHD occurs.If grade II-IV acute GVHD develops, continue IV CsA.

4.Subsequent Treatment for Patients Unsuitable for or Declining Transplantation 4.1 Consolidation Therapy (Two Cycles)

• Option A Intermediate-Dose Cytarabine-Based Regimen：Liposomal Mitoxantrone: 10 mg/day on days 1-2 (dose-reduced).Cytarabine: 1 g/m² every 12 hours for 3 days (days 1-3).
• Option B VA Regimen (Venetoclax + Azacitidine)：Venetoclax (V): Dose-escalation starting at 100 mg on day 1, increasing to 400 mg/day by day 6, continued through day 14.Azacitidine (A): 75 mg/m²/day subcutaneously or intravenously on days 1-7.
• Treatment Cycle:Each regimen is administered for two cycles with a 3-week interval between cycles, followed by maintenance therapy.

4.2 Maintenance Therapy After Two Consolidation Cycles

• Pegylated Interferon α-2b (Long-acting Interferon): 180μg subcutaneously every two weeks.

Continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

It integrates two induction options-IAV (idarubicin + cytarabine + venetoclax) for patients with better economic resources and DAV (daunorubicin + cytarabine + venetoclax) for those with limited resources-followed by consolidation with either the MA regimen (liposomal mitoxantrone + intermediate-dose cytarabine) or intermediate-dose cytarabine alone.
